Assessment

Calvary Chapel Dayton (actually in Beavercreek at 4197 Dayton-Xenia Rd) was founded in 1991 by the late Pastor Dave Elkins. Single Sunday service at 10:15 AM. The founder's passing creates a pastoral transition that needs verification. No men's ministry found. Small congregation (single service). Calvary Chapel Association provides some accountability. Verify current leadership before committing.
